Boeing’s new CEO needs to do more than listen to fix its broken culture

As Boeing’s new CEO, Dave Calhoun has more than a few looming questions to answer. In a call with analysts and investors after the company announced its earnings today, he faced an especially big picture one, asked by analyst Ronald Epstein, from Bank of America.
